Chapter Eighty-Six: Happy Cooperation
"Your Highness, no~!" Stoff subconsciously objected.
If this kind of thing is agreed, wouldn't the Red Leaf Collar be completely exposed to the eyes of the Sea Clan?
"I know what you're worried about, butler, you listen to me first~!" Chen Ye shook his head to stop Stoff from continuing.
He wasn't stupid, and he naturally understood Stoff's thoughts, but he had deeper thoughts.
He paused and looked at the sky, and suddenly waved his hand: "Well, it's not early, let's dine together, let's talk while eating!"
After the words fell, he ignored Stoff and Perrault, who were looking at each other, and walked off the high platform alone.
There were already maids in the carriage who had prepared a table in advance, and more than 20 maids were carrying various kinds of food on the side, which showed that although Hongye Ridge lacked a lot of things, it was not lacking in food.
Chen Ye sat down, and the maid immediately stepped forward to set up the tableware and bring the food to the table.
"Well, don't eat meat today, take this roast mutton down!" Chen Ye pointed to the roast mutton in front of him.
After all, Perrault is a vegetarian, and Chen Ye can't give him meat dishes~!
Of course, the most important thing is that even if the roast lamb has been prepared in a different way, it is still inevitably boring.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you just said that you could promise the Sea Clan garrison?" As soon as Pero sat down, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know if it's true?"
He didn't expect things to take such a turn for the better, but it caught him off guard.
"Nature is true. Chen Ye ate the bread dipped in sweet sauce in front of him and nodded: "Elder Perrault, try this bread, it's much better than the coarse bread of those tribes in Adas Bay~!"
"Uh......" Perrault was stunned and really couldn't adapt to this way of talking, he subconsciously picked up the bread, but he couldn't help but pause: "Your Royal Highness, I don't know if there is a sea and a sky?"
Speaking of the sea and the sky, Perrault couldn't help but lick his somewhat dry lips.
"......" Chen Ye.
His face turned red, and he coughed violently.
"Your Highness?" said Storf.
"It's okay~!" Chen Ye straightened up and waved his hand.
"Is His Royal Highness the Prince really fine?" Perrault was also taken aback, but he was more unsure why.
I can't understand why His Royal Highness reacts so violently when it comes to the food of the sea and the sky.
Could it be that the ingredients used in this dish are extremely precious? Yes, such a magical food, but it is impossible to make ordinary ingredients, he thought of this, and suddenly couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Your Highness, if you are really embarrassed, just these foods. He reassured.
"Sort of~!" Chen Ye looked weird, he glared at the maids on both sides who were also flushed, and then looked at Pei Luo and said, "Elder Pei Luo, this food is a little difficult. ”
"Oh, forget it, that kind of food is not easy to make, and it is a very lucky thing to eat it once. ”
He shook his head and sighed in a low voice, seeing that the Sea Clan elder was still extremely disappointed.
"Let's talk about business~!" Chen Ye changed the subject.
"I can indeed agree to the Sea Clan garrison, but there are requirements for the Sea Clan's garrison. ”
He said and looked at Perrault with a serious expression.
Perrault frowned, but this kind of thing was already an extremely harsh thing, and it was normal for the orc prince to make some requests.
Thinking of this in his heart, he nodded: "Your Royal Highness, please speak." ”
"It's not difficult to ask, there are three points in total, as long as the Sea Clan does it, His Highness can fully agree to the garrison. Chen Ye put down the dishes and stretched out three fingers.
"The first point is that the Sea Clan garrison is not allowed to leave the garrison's place easily without the consent of His Highness, and His Highness has the right to deal with it directly once it is discovered. ”
He leaned back and looked at Perrault: "Of course, in order to meet the daily necessities of the Sea Clan's garrison, the Sea Clan can send a representative to buy from my Red Leaf Ridge, Elder Pero thinks this first one is feasible?"
"Now, if Your Highness restricts everyone, won't even me and Count Gabrin be allowed to leave the garrison easily?" Perrault was a little embarrassed.
He knew that these requirements would not be easy, but he didn't expect the first one to be so harsh, which made him a little depressed.
"Elder Perrault and Earl Gabrin have special statuses, so they can be exceptional, but in order to protect the safety of the two of them when they go out, I think the guards who need to go out will be provided by me Hongye Ridge for the two of them, right?" Chen Ye smiled: "What does Elder Perrault think?"
"This ......" Perrault hesitated: "Couldn't His Royal Highness the Prince be a little more lenient?"
"No, no, no, it's already very lenient. Chen Ye shook his head: "You must know that there is an army stationed in your territory at any time, even if this army has no malicious intentions, no one dares to relax easily, does the elder think so?"
"Well, I can agree with that. Perrault nodded.
It's good if you can achieve your goal, although it's a lot worse than expected, but it's enough to keep the army behind.
Chen Ye nodded, and glanced at Pero unexpectedly, he didn't expect this Sea Clan elder to agree so simply, it seems that this time the Sea Clan is afraid that the garrison is fake, but the purpose of this garrison is something else.
However, what puzzled Chen Ye was that even if these hundred garrisons were the most elite troops, what effect could they have if they were so scarce?
You must know that the current army of Hongye Ridge has nearly 10,000 people, and this number is still growing in an extremely rapid way, a gap of nearly a hundred times, even if it is used as a combination of internal and external use, in this wasteland, its effect can almost be completely ignored.
I couldn't figure it out, so Chen Ye had to write it down secretly, and then said again: "As for the second one, I think the external defense of the Sea Clan's garrison will be in charge of my Red Leaf Ridge, after all, the Sea Clan is a guest from afar, and I think the safety of the guests is still in charge of me, the landlord." ”
"This can be~!" Perrault didn't want to object to anything, he knew that this prince's name was protection, but it was actually just to guard against the Sea Clan.
However, this kind of thing was unavoidable, so he naturally had to agree.
"Well, then the third one~!" Chen Ye glanced at Pei Luo but did not speak directly, but asked rhetorically: "By the way, Elder Pei Luo's envoy this time can fully represent the Sea Clan?"
This point is the most important thing in Chen Ye's opinion, after all, the first two are just requirements, and the last one is a condition, if you want to get greater benefits, of course, you have to know how many rights this Sea Clan elder has.
"This ...... I can only speak for the waters north of Carlo, which is close to the Gulf of Adas. Perrault thought for a moment and said, "After all, this envoy is only for the will of His Highness the Sea Clan, and His Highness can only be in charge of the northern seas of Carlo. ”
"The northern sea area of Carlo?" Chen Ye looked dazed: "I don't know if Elder Pero can be specific?" The Sea Clan has always been isolated from the mainland, but I don't have the slightest image of the northern sea area of Carlo in Elder Perlo's mouth. ”
"This is nature. Pero nodded: "The so-called northern sea area of Kalo is actually the northern sea area of the Sea Clan Carlo Empire, starting from the third kingdom of the orc Tiger in the west, ending in the east of the human Star Luo Kingdom, and eleven countries on the coast of the continent. ”
Perot looked arrogant, but the Sea Clan completely surpassed the mainland countries in terms of geography, even if the area of the Sea Clan's empire was large, Chen Ye was surprised.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and after thinking about it, he raised his head again: "I wonder if Elder Perrault has a map of the sea area north of Sea Clan Carlo?"
"What does Your Highness want a map for?" Perrault was puzzled.
"I want to take a look at the area of the sea north of Carlo specifically!" Chen Ye said directly: "After all, relying on Elder Perrault's narrative alone, it is somewhat impossible to accurately determine. ”
"This ...... I also beg your pardon, Perrault also does not have a ready-made map. Perrot paused, and then suddenly added: "But I can depict it for His Highness, after all, my footprints are almost all over the entire Carlo Sea." ”
"This couldn't be better. Chen Ye laughed: "The third condition is that the two clans can trade, the merchants of the Sea Clan can come to my Red Leaf Ridge to buy and sell goods, and at the same time, the merchants of my Red Leaf Ridge can also ask the Sea Clan, well, of course, it is only limited to the northern sea area of Carlo for commercial activities, I don't know what Elder Pero thinks?"
Trade is undoubtedly Chen Ye's biggest idea, although at present, Hongyeling does not have anything to export, but once Hongyeling enters the stage of rapid development, a qualified commodity export object is undoubtedly an important and important first priority.
His initial choice was undoubtedly the Terrans, but the existence of the Endless Forest made it difficult for him to realize this idea, and it was also an indisputable fact that humans were always hostile to the Orcs.
However, the Sea Clan is different, due to the different living environments of the two races, the conflict is not too big, and the resources of the Sea Clan are far richer than those of the Human Race, which is also what Chen Ye values the most.
And Perot's arrival is undoubtedly an opportunity, after all, trade with the Sea Clan requires the consent of the Sea Clan, and if it is not forced by war, it can only be reached on this kind of negotiation.
And even if the war is capable of being launched at this time, Chen Ye is not inclined to the Xianghai Clan, after all, the sea has always been a forbidden area for life on the mainland, and without a long period of exploration, a rash war will only bring defeat.
These things were only momentary in his heart, but in Perrault's heart, he was completely confused.
He couldn't understand at all, what His Royal Highness the Orc Prince had in mind, to trade with the Sea Clan, it was difficult for him to understand, although there were many things on the mainland that the Sea Clan longed for, but the Red Leaf Ridge was barren and like being abandoned.
And, what is a businessman? Is it worth taking a separate condition for this?
"That's no problem at all. Perrault agreed without much thought.
In his opinion, it would be a good thing if the orc merchants could bring delicious food to the Sea Clan!
Uh, well, this old man is not a foodie, he just misses the taste of the sea and the sky!
"That's really a pleasant thing!" Chen Ye became a little excited, he forcibly suppressed his excitement, and pointed to the food in front of him: "Elder Pero, please~!"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please~!" Perrault smiled.
When the mission was completed, he was also relaxed.
"Hehe, together, together. Chen Ye also laughed: "I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
